I stopped into Barnes and Noble, this is what they had in the AG section. No mini dolls, but they did have a few of the BEFOREVER books.
They had Caroline, Julie, Kit and Samantha.
The quality of the paper is better than I had anticipated. Yay! And confirmed no illustrations or looking back section.

I loved the looking back section! I love BF but not the books..........
ReplyDeleteThe original illustrations and looking back section are gone. There's only a small section at the end like an overview, but it is nothing like the originals. I miss the illustrations too.
DeleteNO looking back section!?!?!? That's what taught girls history!!!!
ReplyDeleteUGH! I wish there was a looking back section!!! How frustrating! :(
ReplyDeleteHow much were the books?
ReplyDeleteAmazon has them for $9'each or the three book series for around $22. That's really not that bad considering it's the original six stories in two volumes and the new journey book.
DeleteIs the book maybe for older girls?
ReplyDeleteThe books are for all the girls who get the dolls or buy the books from ag
DeleteI looked at your other post and I got Samantha's jouney book and may I say IT IS A GREAT BOOK!!!!!!! You get to choose your own adventure
ReplyDeleteYay! I pre-ordered from Amazon so I hope they start showing up. I ordered the series for Julie, Addy, Kaya and Samantha as well as Caroline's Journey book. I had a feeling they would get rid of the looking back section. That was my favorite section and even at the age of 46 I learned things.
ReplyDelete*From Julie's doll mom:*
DeleteI pre-ordered Julie's journey book from Amazon.
It's a shame there is no more looking back section of the books. That was my favorite partof the books. I think I will be heading to Ebay for the rest of the books I am missing.
ReplyDeleteMaybe in lieu of the Looking Back sections, they'll eventually release books that are similar to the old Welcome to ______'s World books. More money to pay, but more bang for your buck if you want historical info!
ReplyDeleteI found a few of the Welcome to ______'s World books at my local library and they were very good!
